Week 37 (Chandelure) winner

by Amane Misa

Originally started with Tsareena. I added Stakataka because is greatly appreciates Tsareena beating bulky Water-types, such as Hippowdon and Swampert, and weakening Steel-type walls for it. It is also pretty slept on right now that the Stakataka hype has faded. I added Swampert because I wanted a Mega Aerodactyl and Mega Manectric counter, and because I needed Stealth Rock. I wanted a good set-up sweeper that also let me deal with Scizor, so I added SubCM Chandelure. It also makes the matchup against Stall teams better. I lacked Ghost- and Dark-type resists and Speed control, so I added Hydreigon. At that point, I wanted a Fairy-type and a Defog-user that let me switch into Hydreigon. I chose Togekiss. With Babiri Berry, it also lures in Steel-type with Flamethrower. Alternatively, Mega Altaria can be ran over Togekiss but the matchup against Steel-types would be slightly worse. Furthermore, Rose Incense could be used over Choice Band on Tsareena but the overall breaking power Choice Band provides is really appreciated. The Calm Mind Latias matchup is shaky, but Stakataka keeps it in check and Hydreigon can revenge kill if there's need to.
